Risking the consternation of those seriously investigating the origins and nature of consciousness…
Isn’t anyone (a person) attempting to use their mind, no matter how clever it may be, to reduce the experience of consciousness into abstract knowledge, trying to do so in defiance of all-it-is that’s allowing the experience of a mind?
The “hard problem of consciousness” has already been solved by reality as the experience of consciousness. And anyone attempting to delimit said experience as knowledge for the satisfaction of the mind alone is doing so in bad faith within the experience itself, and typically to the frustration of the person whose experience it is.
The solution is as ontologically simple as it is challenging to the mind: Recognition that it’s reality (the context of existence) and not the mind that gets to say what reality is — including what consciousness is.
Some cognitive humility might be helpful, if not indeed necessary, in our efforts to understand what’s allowing us to understand anything at all.
